Patent EP-0679600-B1 (EP)
Title: Electrical appliance
Inventor: DOERNER STEFAN
IPC: B65H75/36
Filed: 1995-04-26
Granted: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A recess (7) forming a flat cylindrical cavity, accepts the flexible connecting lead (6) of the appliance. Its depth, t, is less than twice the diameter, d, of the cable. The lead is pulled out through an approximately central opening (10), on the flat side of the recess (7). A tapered guide bulge (11) within the recess projects towards, and is offset slightly from, the opening (10). This offset, v, is approximately one half of the cable diameter. The cable is said to spiral itself within the casing, filling the outer diameters first, when pushed in through the hole (10), and to pull out in the reverse manner. The layout is very simple, and stowing is carried out by hand, although it is suggested that driven rollers could be applied to produce a powered model. Within the recess (7) the lead passes the small edge region (13') and enters the base opening (23) via the labyrinthine path, continuing through into the appliance proper. The offset is to one side of the small region (13'). When built-in, the open recess is covered flush by one of the casing walls (1) of the appliance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The fastening claw (1) has a neck part (2) which holds the end of the fastening rod and is mounted in a one-piece guide holder (8) fixable to the shutter so as to pivot on the fastening rod's longitudinal axle. The guide holder has a through-hole (16) coaxial with the fastening rod's longitudinal axis and in which the neck part axially fits with a radially compressible end (4). The circular cylindrical sectioned compressible end has at least one longitudinal slot (7) in its outer casing opening out onto its free end (5). The free end has an outer flange (6) gripping behind a thrust edge (18) of the guide holder, when the neck part is inserted into the guide holder.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for comparing torsional stress/strain states of a power transmitting member of an internal combustion engine to detect an abnormal combustion condition, including misfire, knock or roughness. Statistical processing steps may be used to detect an abnormal combustion event including : calculating a mean and standard deviation for a set of signals related to the torsional stress induced in the power transmitting member, calculating a difference between a later signal and the mean, calculating a ratio of the difference to the standard deviation, and comparing the ratio to a threshold. The ratio so obtained from a given cylinder may further be compared with one or more other such ratios from other cylinders. On other words, the auto-correlation and/or cross-correlation techniques may be used. A magnetostrictive sensor may preferably be used to obtain the signals relating to the torsional stress in the power transmitting member, such as the engine crankshaft. In addition, the magnetostrictive sensor may include windings to cancel induced electromagnetic interference signals. The magnetostrictive sensor may also generate signals relating to the position of the power transmitting member in addition to the torsional stress in the power transmitting member. Spatial integration techniques may be used to obtain torsional stress/strain signals which are independent of the rotational speed of the power transmitting member. Spatial interaction may be performed using variable amplifiers, variable attenuators, switched capacitors or other techniques. <IMAGE>

To this end, a management system for the power station installation includes a computer unit which determines reference variables for the power station block or for each of the power station blocks through the use of a genetic algorithm, and an optimization module which is connected to the computer unit. The optimization module is connected to a number of neural networks and one neural network is assigned to each power station block.

Abstract: A method and devices for localized delivery of a chemotherapeutic agent to solid tumors, wherein the agent does not cross the blood-brain barrier and is characterized by poor bioavailability and/or short half-lives in vivo, are described. The devices consist of reservoirs which release drug over an extended time period while at the same time preserving the bioactivity and bioavailability of the agent. In the most preferred embodiment, the device consists of biodegradable polymeric matrixes, although reservoirs can also be formulated from non-biodegradable polymers or reservoirs connected to implanted infusion pumps. The devices are implanted within or immediately adjacent the tumors to be treated or the site where they have been surgically removed. The examples demonstrate the efficacy of paclitaxel and camptothecin delivered in polymeric implants prepared by compression molding of biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers, respectively. The results are highly statistically significant.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for detection of leading and trailing edges of objects moving along a defined path. A light radiation source directs a light beam toward a beamspot on the path. Light reflected from the beamspot is received by two light sensors. An edge of an object moving along the defined path substantially blocks the light from being received by one light sensor. Circuitry is provided for distinguishing the difference in reflected light received at each light sensor and determining whether the leading edge or trailing edge of the object is blocking the reflected light. Length of detections (leading and trailing edges) and time interval between the detections of the leading and trailing edge are processed to provide information about the object such as height of the leading and trailing edges of the object and length of the object. Further processing or leading and trailing edge detections can detect overlapped objects having relatively uniform surfaces. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Prostate cancer in a patient is treated by administration of Rhodamine-123 (Rh-123) orally or by intravenous injection of a treatment solution of Rh-123, ethyl alcohol, dextrose, and water in an amount sufficient to effect in vivo destruction of prostate cancer cells. The treatment solution is made by mixing a stock solution of Rh-123 in a solution of 95% ethyl alcohol and 5% water (by volume) with a solution of 5% (by weight) dextrose in water. Treatment can be controlled by measuring the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood of the patient.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour le laminage des extrémités d'une bande enroulée (B) dans un laminoir réversible (1, 2) comportant des bobineuses (3, 4) disposées des deux côtés. L'invention a pour but de réduire les pertes de longueurs, non conformes aux dimensions prescrites, aux extrémités des bandes, tout en n'ayant recours qu'à un minimum de moyens techniques à mettre en oeuvre. Ce but est atteint grâce au fait qu'à chaque passe de laminage, chaque début de bande (A) est introduit dans l'écartement (S) des cylindres, sans tension de la bande, ni effort de laminage côté entrée, et que l'effort de laminage est ensuite progressivement accru jusqu'à obtention de la valeur de consigne, et que la tension de la bande côté sortie est appliquée lorsque le début (A) de la bande est raccordé à la bobineuse (4). A la fin de chaque passe de laminage, la tension de la bande est annulée, l'extrémité (E) de la bande traversant complètement l'écartement des cylindres sans être soumise à une quelconque tension et se trouvant ainsi réduite en épaisseur.

Abstract: An optical beam (8) in a scanning device is focused on an information layer (3) of a multi-layer optical record carrier. A focus control circuit (22) keeps the focal point (9) of the beam on the information layer. When the focal point jumps to another information layer, the focus control circuit does not monitor the so-called central aperture signal in order not to depend on the presence of information in the information layers. During the jump the characteristics of the feedback loop of the focus control unit are modified to avoid instabilities in the movement of the focal point during the jump. The characteristics of the feedback loop are restored after a predetermined period of time, then the focal is near the designated layer and the restored control loop focuses the focal point of the designated layer.
